    Apache CamelPayara Server
    Likelihood to Recommend
    Apache
    Message brokering across different systems, with transactionality and the ability to have fine tuned control over what happens using Java (or other languages), instead of a heavy, proprietary languages. One situation that it doesn't fit very well (as far as I have experienced) is when your workflow requires significant data mapping. While possible when using Java tooling, some other visual data mapping tools in other integration frameworks are easier to work with.

    - If the application is very large then the Payara server is suitable and in the case of a small application, we can choose Micro Payara. - Micro payara is very well suited for microservice architecture. - Fully Jakarta compliance. - Very good performance.

    Pros
    Apache
    • Camel has an easy learning curve. It is fairly well documented and there are about 5-6 books on Camel.
    • There is a large user group and blogs devoted to all things Camel and the developers of Camel provide quick answers and have also been very quick to patch Camel, when bugs are reported.
    • Camel integrates well with well known frameworks like Spring, and other middleware products like Apache Karaf and Servicemix.
    • There are over 150 components for the Camel framework that help integrate with diverse software platforms.
    • Camel is also good for creating microservices.

    Cons
    Apache
    • didn't work well when our developers tried to transform heavy data sets
    • Apache Camel's whole logic is based on java so team needs to have a great skill set in java
    • if there are a handful of workflows then Apache Camel's full potential can't be realized

    As mentioned before it has an amazing configuration console. You can practically do anything from there and even update the program or install new features on the fly.

    As mentioned before, its performance capabilities were one of the reasons we used them. It interacts with mass mail software and we see no performance impact. It handles everything pretty well and pretty fast.

    Alternatives Considered
    Apache
    If you are looking for a Java-based open source low cost equivalent to webMethods or Azure Logic Apps, Apache Camel is an excellent choice as it is mature and widely deployed, and included in many vendored Java application servers too such as Redhat JBoss EAP. Apache Camel is lacking on the GUI tooling side compared to commercial products such as webMethods or Azure Logic Apps.

    Return on Investment
    Apache
    • Very fast time to market in that so many components are available to use immediately.
    • Error handling mechanisms and patterns of practice are robust and easy to use which in turn has made our application more robust from the start, so fewer bugs.
    • However, testing and debugging routes is more challenging than working is standard Java so that takes more time (less time than writing the components from scratch).
    • Most people don't know Camel coming in and many junior developers find it overwhelming and are not enthusiastic to learn it. So finding people that want to develop/maintain it is a challenge.

    • Can host multiple application on single VM.
    • Helps managed service team reduces their time on installation and up-gradation ( upgrading it to a new Payara server is very simple).
    • We can opt for Payara or Micro Payara based on the application size.
